Was it the current government who overlooked the fact Manu was an overstayer and fast tracked his citizenship to make him English before the WC? Pretty poor taste by him if it was.

UncleFB

its been f**king great for the provinces to see this. i would give my left nut to see tasman win it this season as well Which is precisely what it's all about, it makes the shield fantastic and that's why it's great for the provinces to have it. Don't get me wrong, I think the Ranfurly Shield is on...

Yep, a cursory read of any book that covers the Shield will highlight other eras when the Shield was passed around.

He's just the jumbo-tron troll these days lacking the slivers of decent discussion he occasionally came up with.

True, although he seems to have jumped the shark a bit of late though.

OK, so I'm a bit out of the loop on this as I've been out of the country, but after reading the last few pages I'm a bit worried about Seneca's state of mind. It seems as he's morphed into NZs version of a combined Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Karl Rove, a bit of Cameron Slater, and a touch of that awfu...

Had to bail last night, was headed out. How the fudge I forgot Dennis Chambers I have no idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ues2RBpXQoI Jake, it's a fair call, his playing is very much "of a type", but the touch he has and the fills and grooves he creates are absolutely superb. Basically tickles ...

I still maintain it was a better show than The Wire. They were both excellent in their own way. I don't think I can choose between them. Daylight between them and the rest, though. Breaking Bad is the best of the more recent stuff, for me. This. Can't really pick between them and BB next in line. Q...

UncleFB

So what's The Wire about? Is each season self-contained with entirely new characters? Do they cross over? It basically follows some cops and some criminals in Baltimore but has a different theme for each season. S2 was focused on the docks, S4 on education, S5 on the newspaper. S1 & S3 were mostly ...

UncleFB

Nah, The Wire is better than the Sopranos ... although both comfortably sit at the top of the tree. Apparently the the second series of The Wire, considered by most fans to be the poorest (not me personally) was the highest rated ... and most attribute that to the cast (i.e. more whiteys*). *Althoug...

Yeah, it's funny how you can feel sorry for such a beast like Tony. It's quite rewatchable too - I pick more details up every time I watch it. There's nothing "beastlike" about Tony yet. Yes he's brutal but so far the only stuff I've seen him do 1. Strangled a guy to death that was going to kill hi...

UncleFB

fudge em all. Wellington Hurricanes it is, Hawkes Bay and Taranaki ingrates can fudge off. As long as there's five teams we'll have no difficulty finding the one or two players we need to fill the empty slots. Whats the Canes attendances looking like from this year anyway? I think the players famil...

If you wanted to do it by population you'd have what, one South Island team, the Hurricanes, the Chiefs, a South Auckland and a North Auckland team. :uhoh: I could certainly live with the proposal. However I think the central North Island is under-represented, and needs a S15 team to call its own. ...

Even if they occasionally wore Hawkes Bay socks and played the odd pre-season trial match in Napier?

Hmmm, probably not.

Would this thread exist if the Highlanders were on top of the Super ladder? :yawn: What a f**king stupid comment TBF, the entire thread is f**king stupid. AC would have had the Bulls kicked out of the S15 before they won the first of their titles. Firstly, my assessment of the suitability and viabi...

Central Vikings has a promising ring to it. I was trying to think of a colour to truely represent the areas mentioned, time and time again orange comes up as the obvious choice. Probably should throw in a lighting bolt to show how exciting this new team would be. White and orange lightening bolts o...

AC - you're going to a lot of effort to build your backline, wouldn't it just be easier to offer Ben Smith and Ma'a a contract each? It appears Ma'a is trying to overtake Pita Alatini as to who represented the most franchises.

Northland should secede and be become part of the mighty chiefs franchise once more /uncle FB mode ;) ??? Northland? They're only just above Southland in my rating of provinces, I don't care what they do. Now, if you'd said HB should secede then I would agree with you, but we've already been taken ...

Also, since they've had the new stadium the Highlanders crowds have been pretty good, especially in light of their poor performances this year. Crowds are declining, and the team is losing money. It's two host unions are financially crippled, completely reliant on NZRU loans and community grants to...

I think you'll find the people of Nelson have more to do with Wellington than Christchurch which is 500 miles away. I think you'll also find that they have been Crusaders fans since 1996. 1998, I can remember reading articles from 1996/1997 where Nelson fans were saying they were Canes supporters ....

I thought this was a great series of Mad Men, but then again I thought Mad Men was pretty average until about the last couple of episodes of series 3 and then it became awesome ... I'm aware that some other people think it's gone the other way.

When i grew up (8-10yrs old) we used to get into Fantasyland free (or maybe 50c) and spend the day there. Largely without adults. Think there is a water park there now - not been back for almost 30 years. KG Lots of the Fantasyland playground thingys are still there. And yep, it was always free for...

I've never known Kiwi's to be so sentimental. We mistakenly did it with Wilkinson but at least he played in and won a World Cup final. This stifling of young talent could possibly signal the decline of NZ rugby. Some great young talent but unfortunately the old sacred cows in the national team will...

Cruden is a better S15 player than Carter now. You could arguably say the same about Cooper, Lambie, perhaps even Steyn. But in internationals when defences are tighter and the game is much more intense, I would rather have Carter than anyone else in the world. This. There are some things that othe...

How are you finding the current Community incarnation Dumble? Soulless drivel.

EF, Parks has got blah again. I've stopped watching. Back to AD though, I'm excited to see Judy Greer. She's been slaying for Archer.
